“WHO IS VECTOR MELDREW? “
Vector Meldrew seems less concerned with ‘whos’ or ‘whats’, choosing rather to pour his passions into ‘how’. Some say he has no physical form, existing only through the output of his graphical creativity. Others talk of him as a savior (of sorts?!), delaying the coming apocalypse whilst his devastating power is occupied disentangling a video cord. A few even suggest that Vector Meldrew is in fact a talented cluster of design specialists, decentralisation nerds, visionaries and music buffs, but then some people will believe anything…
One thing is certain. Vector Meldrew’s curiosity for exploring ideas that most people don’t care about (yet) has led him down some exciting paths. Starting life in the music industry building RWDmag/Forum in his bedroom. Whilst on a mission to translate pirate radio culture to online communities he set up the first grime website and animation series, later getting co-signed by Channel U, Missy Elliot and Prince Charles.
After realising the music industry was riddled with thieves, drug dealers and pimps (oh… btw…there’s also a bad side*). Inspired by the artwork of 90’s rave flyers he sent himself back to the gulag to develop a secret formula for expressing his abstract thoughts, feelings and emotions through visual media. This led to touring as a VJ offering live visual performances from Switzerland to Glastonbury often alongside his mate Addison Groove. As a director he had his films shown at both festivals and online platforms such as : Aesthetica, The Smalls, Berlin Music Video Awards, Vimeo Staff Pick, Adult Swim and Vice
Fast forward to the present and you will find him hosting degenerate rave parties both in the Metaverse and IRL. By night you will often find him with the blinds drawn, holed up with a stack of GPU power and a collection of deranged thoughts flowing through his fingers into the computer screen. You might say “i don’t beliieeeve it”. Either way, if you have a problem, if no one else can help and if you can find him…..
(hint: try Twitter DMs).
